Queen Kapiolani, who has returned from England and is now in New York, is dis posed to make light of the revolution in Hawaii. She does not even call it 8 revo- lution, but softens it down to a"difficulty ; she declares that the change in the ministry is such as has happened repeatedly before, and is no more revolutionary in character than the overthrow of one government in England and the summoning of a new prime minister. It is true, she says, that only one side of the matter has yet been heard, but there is no reason for doubting the truth of the report brought by the Mariposa. There has been popular up rising, King Kalakaua has been badly frightened, new ministry has been form cd and the former prime minister has been arrested. Later news will be awaited with some interest, and speculation will concern itself with the possible outcome and the ultimate disposition of the Sandwich Is- lands.

Miss Viola Meets, of Graham County, N. O.. was to have been married on Jnlf 3 to John Ammons. The match was oppos- cd by the father of Miss Meets, who armed himself on the day of the proposed we'd ding and swore that he would kill Ammons if he appeared on his premises. The daughter said she preferred to marry with her fathers consent, but would marry Ammons that day or die. The father vio- lently refusing, she stepped into an adjoin- ing room. The father went into the room shortly afterward The daughter was a corpse and in her hand was vial labelled ptrychnine.

Mrs. Cleveland is preparing to arrange 6 unique room at Red Top. It is to be as nearly as possible a counterpart of that formerly occupied by her fathers mother in the little Wyoming county village many years ago. With this idea in view Mrs. Cleveland wrote to relatives in Cowles- vile, N. Y., a Mrs. Cushman, and asked her to make rag carpet like that one which covered the floor in Grandma Fol som's" room. Mrs. Cushman accepted the commission, and at once set about making the carpet. It was finished sev- eral monthe ago, and was at once sent to Washington. It has not yet been laid, but will be during the fall. The room is to be furnished in old-fashioned style. There will be stiff-backed wooden rockers, and irons and a spinning wheel, and every thing else that went to make up country ''parlor" in the early days.

. New York Sun: The venerable Simon Cameron once said to reporter that he never read the newspapers. But when g few months later the same reporter found this splendid old gentleman with all the New York papers in his lap ready to spend a few hours in reading them, MT. Cameron smiled and said: ''You will observe that I am just as truthful as all the other men who say they never read the newspapers. ' Then MT. Cameron went on to say that he had observed that three classes of men boasted that they let the papers alone One was broken down politicians whose failings and faults had been exposed by the press another was high toned crimi- nals whose crimes had been detected by the newspapers, and the third was the lit erary snobs whose heads are in the air.

John P. Bigelow, bright western man who was engaged for some time in one of the departments at Washington, went abroad and made considerable money in telephones and electrical inventions. On the day of the meeting of the republican national convention at Chicago in 1884, he gave dinner party in London to num- Der of English friends, to whom he men, tioned incidentally before they passed into his dining room that his friends at home were urging him to accept nomination as vice-president. The dinner was par tially served when the butler brought in a telegram which MT. Bigelow asked per- mission to open. He glanced at it, puFsed his lips, called for telegraph blank and wrote an answer which was sent away. Then he handed his dispatch around that his English friends might read it. It was about as follows:
 "CH1oAao, H., June 1.-The convention is assembling. Will you accept the vice pres idency on the ticket p
 He explained that it was from his friends in the convention, but that he could not think of accepting the nomination, and had replied that under no circumstances would he allow the use of his name. The manner in which he thus evidently refused the second place in the great republic was quite card with his English friends. It never occurred to them that he had written the telegram himself

FoR two weeks past the presses in the office of The Press have been run by water power,
 Roaring Brook furnishing the same. One of 0. P. Bradway's motors, built in Stafford, does the business, supplanting the excellent outfit
 of engine and boiler put in when the office
 was reftted after burning out. The conven- ience of water motor over steam, and the
 cheapness, also, especially in case where
 power is only desired at intervals during the
 day, was an inducement for the change. The
 little motor, occupying next to no floor room at all, by turn of the valve (without the de- lay of seeing if ''steam is up" or of getting it up if it is suffered to go down) sets in motion the lines of shafting and will carry easily one or both of the heavy presses requiring power.
 The experiment of change is big success, and those who can proftably use small power -13 to 2 horse-will find it not expensive to fit up with one of Bradway's wheels, nor to purchase the water needed to run it. Our wheel has two supply valves, one letting on a inch the other a3-16 inch stream, and one, bot1 or parts of each, can be fed on accord ing to the water pressure at the time or the amount of work to be done. Our outfit be- fore was horse power boiler and three horse power engine of the very best make (they are now fol sale)and were only discard cd after, by investigation, finding that Brad ways motors were doing satisfactory work in other printing offices. Our entire outfit is procured in Stafford, ,Supt. Adams of the aque- duct company having put in the needed pipes, gates, valves for supplying water and con- ducting away the waste. We congratulate ourselves on the convenience of the new ar

St. John, once the prohibition candidate for president, is busy in Ohio, when his objections to the Grand Army men do not inie9ere, dumping the state in the inter- est of the prohibition ticket. Why he does not take hand in the prohibition move. mant in Texas is readily explained. In Ahat state prohibition votes injure the dem- ocratic party, while in Ohio they injure the republican party, and since the repub- hOan party of Kansas found out St. John and has had no further use for him he has bean in . very vinegary state about it.

TIE Stafford Agricultural society is as us- ual at this season on the alert for new attrac- tons for its coming fair, to be announced in due time, also for improvements in the con- duct of it's exhibitions. The society has rev olutionized the old ways of getting up fairs, and it's improved systems are being copied constantly by the old fogy societies which hate been so rapidly falling to the rear. It first demonstrated that fairs would pay better and draw better when divorced from gambling The better class of people naturally like tc attend agricultural fairs, and the Stafford fair has bid for and secured the patronage of this class.
 THE Hartford Courant, though nearly a cen tury and quarter old has never lookde more sprightly than now, in it's new form and witt new type throughout.

Il now furnishes 56 columns of matter, col umns to the page, with leaves cut and pasted and is only made recognizable to old readers by the continued pungency of it's we'll writer editorials and the carefully collected news col umns, giving, as before, all local, state, ma tional and foreign events. This particular ''we" will not see The Courant fourishine and up to the times in 1887, but other 'we's' will no doubt do so, and extend the congratu. lations of The Press just as is now done.

In the excitement caused by the utter auces of General Tuttle-which have been greatly exaggerated by some newspapers which are unfriendly to the G. A. Rand by the battle-hag order, one of the main reasons, If not the chief one, why the grand army as body did not desire the presence of MT. Cleveland as it's guest at the national encampment was the belief that it would again introduce the disturb ing clement of politics into the organiza- tion. Many members of the grand army suspected that the invitation was extended through the influence of General Black and some other comrades, who are demo- crats, and who hoped that the visit would promote MT. Cleveland's prospects for a | second term, and at the same time aid General Black in his canvass for the vice. presidential nomination. An old and prom l inent member of the grand army said {: Politics nearly destroyed the grand army of the republic few years ago, when an attempt was made to use 1t in behalf of the third term movement. In Maryland, Michigan, Indiana and several other states the organization virtually disbanded, and the total membership dwindled to less than 30,O0O That taught us a severe lesson, and we have not forgotten it. It was for that reason that Mir. Blaine was not invited to be the guest of the national encampment at Portland, Maine, two years ago. Some of his friends were indignant, and regarded the refusal to invite him him as an afront, when no slight was intended. MT. Blaine did not misunderstood the reason, and he fully appreciated the force of it. The grand army cannot afford to be the tail of anybody's political kite, nor, as an organization, to take part in an occasion deSiOned to promote the DOlitiCal fortunes of any man. If any one man ever had a stronger hold on the organization than did General Logan, it's first commander in-chief, have yet to learn the fact. And yet the efforts of some of General Logan s indiscreet friends to make the national en- campment at San Francisco last year an occason to boom him did him positive in- jury, aand caused great dissatisfaction in the ranks of the grand army.''

In 1492, when Christopher Columbus landed on Cat Island, the whole region which we now know as the United States, was inhabited by savages who did little in the way of agriculture and great deal in the way of hunting. They hunted wild game and they hunted each other. They were the original Henry Georgeites-at least they had been putting the George theories into practice for several thousand years. They held their land in common. They did not trouble themselves about
 'unearned increments," because there was no increment of value, earned or unearned, to be considered. The land was worth nothing, and it earned nothing. All the other George theories were held by these simple children of nature. They had even the boycott, although they did not know it by that name. When two savages of different tribes-or district assemblies quarreled over dead deer, they struck work and fought it out to see which was the"scab." It was generally then as now, the dead one. Then each tribe declared 8 boycott against the other, and the struggle ended in either the annihilation or the en. forced migration of the weaker district as. sembly. In fact, the George idea was most thorough hly. carried out in every particular, and the parallel between the two civiliza- tions-the Indian red civilization and the Anarchial red civilization-may be called almost perfect. The affairs of each tribe were managed by walking delegates, called chiefs, and then, as now, the women did the most work. Puck.
